clang-cl for Python 3 distutils

See clang\clang-cl-py3.diff for the changes on how to use clang-cl as distutils compiler. After applying these changes, you can build your extension with

python setup.py build --compiler=clang-cl

LLVM Windows Symbolic Link Maker

The huge size of LLVM Windows installation can be reduced dramatically by using Windows symbolic link (see mklink command.

Usage

Just copy llvm\llvm-link.bat to LLVM installation path (e.g.: C:\Program Files\LLVM\) and run it (may require Administrator privilege).
